Excessive celebration in football refers to when players celebrate a touchdown or a big play in a way that goes beyond the usual celebrations. It’s all about expressing excitement and joy, but sometimes it can be a little too much. When a player scores a touchdown, they might perform elaborate dances, choreographed routines, or even bring out props to celebrate. The purpose is to showcase their individuality, entertain the fans, and create memorable moments. It adds an extra layer of excitement to the game and can add energy in the stadium. However, there are some downsides to excessive celebration as well. It can lead to penalties and fines for the team, which can have negative consequences in terms of field position or momentum. Excessive celebration can also disrupt the flow of the game, causing delays and interruptions. Additionally, it can create tension between teams, especially if the celebration is seen as disrespectful or taunting. Overall, excessive celebration in football has both positives and negatives. It brings entertainment and excitement to the game, allowing players to express their individuality and connect with fans. But at the same time, it can have negative repercussions in terms of penalties and disruptions. I personally do not think that there should be a penalty for excessive celebration, but certain things should be off limits.

I think celebrations are good to a certain point. I think its fun and more competitive to get into other players heads when playing but sometimes it can just be over the top so I do think that kind of thing could be more monitored. Otherwise I dont think there should be penalties for celebration its just part of the game what fun is it if you cant get excited and happy for your team.
I agree with you, I personally think that some celebrations are a little over the top and definetly deserve to have a penalty as a result of it. But the players should always make sure their celebrations are not in a mean way.
I agree with you, I think the NFL should become less strict with how often they are throwing the flag for excessive celebration. But adding these fun dances to accomplishments during the game that deserve them adds a funny aspect.
I don"t think they should be given penalties for excessive celebration because it is part of the game when it comes to scoring. There is 100% things players shouldn't do when it comes to celebrations though.
I think celebrations are fine and taunting is fine to a point. It's good to get in players' head's while playing sports. But, there's a point where it can become pretty unsportsmanlike and I think that should be watched.
I agree with you, I personally think in life everything can be taken to far to a certaint point. But most players should understand what it feels like to have someone be unsportsmanlike to them at some point and keep that in mind when doing celebratory dances.
There is no reason why celebrations should be a penalty, but only if they are targeted toward other players or are just unsportmanlike. Otherwise, I say feel free to celebrate. Games are supposed to be fun, celebrating with your friends is one aspect of the game that can make it fun.
I totally agree with you, I think that celebratory dances should not have a result as a penalty if they are not doing anything to harm the opposing team. The game is supposed to be fun and celebrating is one of those aspects.
no I do not think that players should be flagged for excessive celebration it's just apart of the game. I see why the flag is there because they dont want celebrations to be to big and get out of hand but players should eb able to do anything they want.
I agree with you, I understand why there needs to be a flag and a penalty for this rule. But the players should have more freedom when doing their dances, because if they don't do it in a taunting way then the players should be allowed to have fun.
